Lumpectomy with radiation therapy is becoming widely accepted as an alternative treatment for breast carcinoma in place of radical mastectomy. This article illustrates the spectrum of mammographic changes seen at various intervals after lumpectomy with irradiation to help the mammographer distinguish postoperative scar from a recurrent carcinoma.
